Abandoned cart automation helps you recover potential lost sales by reaching out to users who started the checkout process but didn't complete their purchase. This powerful feature sends a series of targeted emails to encourage these users to return and finish their transaction, potentially with a discount incentive.
ℹ️ INFO: Several users begin the checkout process but don't complete their purchase. Abandoned cart emails give you a second chance to convert these potential customers with minimal effort.
Automated Workflow
The abandoned cart automation is triggered when a user creates an account during checkout but leaves before completing their payment. The system sends three strategic emails.
First email without discount
Sent 15 mins after abandonment of checkout
A friendly reminder without a discount
Including a "Finish my Order Now" CTA button
Second email with discount
Sent 6 hours after the first email
Includes your chosen discount with a "Claim My Discount" CTA button
Third email with discount
24 hours after the second email
Final reminder with the same discount,
Creating urgency by noting the offer expires in 24 hours
💡 TIP: The default Email templates already work well, but you may edit these templates anytime necessary.

User Experience
For users to receive abandoned cart emails, they must enter their name, email, and password during checkout. The automation triggers if they reach the billing information page but don't proceed to complete the purchase.
Redeem the Discount
When a user decides to claim the discount:
They must click the "Claim My Discount" CTA button in the second or third email
They'll be directed to sign in using the same email that they used during the initial checkout
After signing in, they'll be taken directly to the checkout page with the discount automatically applied
The user can complete the purchase by entering payment information
⚠️ WARNING: If a user closes the session before clicking Complete, the discount becomes invalid. The offer is valid for 24 hours after the final email is sent.
